Refractory Materials as a revision of AS 1774.22—1985, Methods for physical testing of

refractories and refractory materials, Method 22: Bonding strength of refractory mortar.
In the preparation of this Standard cognizance was taken of BS 1902.11:1990 Methods of
testing refractory materials, Part 11: Refractory mortars and putties and GB 5024.1—85
Test methods for refractory mortars.
The objective of this revision is to provide a suite of tests for the evaluation of refractory
mortars.
